While I was wandering through a craft store, I stumbled upon the book Knits For The Modern Baby and found the most adorable baby socks in the book. I had never made a pair of socks before, but I was up for the challenge of making these!
I used the Lions Brand Cotton-Ease for the cuff, heel and toe - makes them a little more durable. For the rest of the sock I used Moda Dea Sassy Stripes (which I'm pretty sure is discontinued and very hard to find, but it's 100% acrylic, self-stripping and I love it), for this particular sock I used "Vintage" but I also have "Spring" which is equally cute.
I was amazed at how fast one of these little socks can go - I even got one done in an afternoon once! The heel scared me when I got to that section on the first sock, but I figured it out without any major hiccups thankfully!
I managed to find a picture of the two different socks I've made so far:
The sock on the right was made with the "Spring" yarn and one on the left was made with the "Vintage" yarn!
I've seen these itty bitties and they are SO cute!!!
